Fine Motor Skills Fine motor skills use the small muscles in the hands. Just like gross motor skills (like jumping) use your big muscles. There are lots of ways to strengthen these muscles (just google it!)My current favourite is to learn AUSLAN the Australian Sing Language. Check it out at AUSLANTry starting with finger spelling. Drawing is also a great way to improve your fine motor skills. I have been using the Derwent Pencilswebsite. Click on hints and tips, then drawing projects. Typing Skills
